Hey all! Figured I'd create a thread for my second tank, the IM Fusion 20 gallon. Got this set up from a fellow ChicagoReefs member.
I have added some additional live rock since acquiring last week and a few corals. New substrate is coming tomorrow where I'll be replacing 95% of the current substrate. I went with Tropic Eden Mesoflakes. I also input the InTank media basket with filter floss, Chemi-pure Elite, and Purigen.
Hardware
Innovative Marine 20 Fusion
Nanobox Duo LED light
100w NeoTherm Heater
Tunze Nano ATO w/ 3 gallon bucket
Aqua Gadget Media Rack
InTank Media Basket
Custom Light Hanger
Livestock
(2) Rainbow BTA's
Rainbow Ricordia rock (added additional orange Ricordea)
Hammer Coral
Acans
Blasto
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp
ORA Variegated Urchin
Future stocking plans include 2 onyx clowns and 1 blue damsel (possibly a blue chromis). I'll also be transferring some corals from my 5 gallon tank over to free up some space in that.
Question: There isn't a ton of flow with the IM 20 Stock pumps. What do you guys recommend that won't be a complete eyesore in the tank? Should I go with a powerhead or do something with the pump itself so it can remain hidden?
